Nice coop with lots of great features!!

I really enjoyed this article and the thorough explanation of chicken math!!! Still laughing :lau

Well written article. Dealing with harsh winters caused a lot of concern the first year I had chickens. The article nicely explains how to manage your flock and adjust accordingly depending on breeds, climate and housing

Well done! A great review for keeping your flock happy and healthy through winters.... Nice bonus to include the recipe for home made flock block! Homemade treat dispenser (aka recycled plastic bottles), repurposed suet cages and providing dust bath areas go a long way to keep chickens active and stimulated when the ground is covered in snow and ice. I like to add some thick branches or tree stump in the run to provide additional ‘entertainment’.

Kudos!!! Great article and awesome mobile coop! I love it! Perfect size for a smaller backyard flock, great details and ideas to make it very functional.... Love that the coop can be moved inside a garage or structure easily for severe weather. Will have to bookmark this in case I need another coop!

Enrichment of poultry environment is very beneficial, same as for any confined beings. Whether you have to use a run part or full time for your flock, using some of the suggestions in this article will provide entertainment for chickens as well as encourage natural behaviors and minimize issues like feather picking. Most of it can be done with no or little expense. No need to peel apples for chickens though unless you you want to go the extra mile

I enjoyed reading this article! Quick review on some plants chickens can (and the ones they shouldn’t) eat. Also useful to know some herbs and flowers can be used in nesting boxes

nice article, well written. I have added a single adult hen to an established flock in a similar fashion. See but no touch after quarantine, adding chicken to the roost when it’s dark and mingling with the flock under supervision works ( at least for me) well. Few scuffles but no war, takes a little time but well worth it!

Great article! Comprehensive, well written and good pictures and links

nice review on precautions when handling chickens, especially coop cleaning. Great that bio security is mentioned-protection of your flock is important

Nice resource, especially for new chicken keepers! Looking forward to future additions

Thorough, well written and organized!

Nice review for common bedding pros and cons!

Nice article, good pictures to illustrate. I never considered a pedi tool, I’ve always used a dremmel tool for a quick touch to smooth the nails after clipping. The pedi tool sounds like a great alternative

Good information and covers several important aspects such as quarantine, age/size/appearance that can make introduction of new chickens to a flock more or less challenging
